    Sounds like you may have had algae, and have some remaining in your filter. DE filters do not handle live (green) algae well.

    What are your pool water readings (chlorine, pH, CYA or stabilizer)?

    Have you had algae recently?

    Thanks Ben. Yes, I have had algae but now it's under control, but when I have cleaned the filter there has been a lot on it. Readings now are ph 7.5 , chlorine 1.5 Didn't
    check stabizer but when I open pool it was fine.

    OK.

    It's probably not quite as much under control as you think, but is still 'hiding' waiting for conditions to improve!

    I need your water readings, and pool information (type of pool, type of feeder or 'sanitizer' or 'mineral' gear) before I can give you any recommendations.

    OK- also checked with my pool guy and he said this isn't uncommon- my push/pull valve is probably starting to go, and he also thinks once the algae is better under control I'll be OK.
    Thanks for your help, Ben
